First thing today a very mangey Red Fox cub was hobbling around the back garden. I came across three Kingfishers on the river between Cardonald and Leverndale this afternoon. The Otter was on its regular stretch of river but was keeping mostly submerged. A Whitethroat and a Chiffchaff were singing in adjacent squares to mine (only the usual three Blackcaps here). A few Rooks seem to have moved back into the area. The strategy of setting aside areas of amenity grass and leaving them uncut seems to be bearing fruit - I heard a Grasshopper "singing" from one such area in Rosshall Park. I don't think I've ever heard one in the area before. This evening, a single Swift was over the river behind the house.
